Burton 1995 Kelly Air Camber vs Burton Instigator Flat Top

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain riding. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Burton 1995 Kelly Air Camber has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Burton Instigator Flat Top uses flat (neutral base between bindings; predictable, often paired with rocker toward tips/tail). The Burton 1995 Kelly Air Camber is noticeably stiffer at 8/10 versus the Burton Instigator Flat Top's 1/10, suiting more aggressive riding.
